Fitting new bottom arms as an going either 1.5 neg or 2 neg

Will 2 degree were my tyres out a lot and quickly I have 13x7s yokos

Also how do you fit rear camber brackets

Thanks

Has any one got pics of 2 deg

[icklemini]

2degs is far too much on that size of tyre. ...

rear brackets.. remove old ones... fit replacement...
depending on type some 'modification' maybe needed for the bracket to fit..

Okay an okay il go with 1.5 then cheers

[icklemini]

even that's too much for that size...:s

[minilee94]

Tonnes of people use 1.5 neg on 13

1.5 arms don't give you -1.5, they just reduce the camber by 1.5 of what your currently on, ride height willl reduce camber too.

That doesn't mean it's good though.

[OfMini&Men]

buy adjustable bottom arms and get it set up properly.

I still think 13's should stayed with the metro.

then why bother asking?

[minilee94]

So when you have 1.5 neg camber arms on and you see before and after pics you can see the difference ?

An all opinions to there own

Because I wanted to know about 2 degrees but as said that is way to much ad I can't find any pics of 2 deg so obv not a good idea

? if its just the look you are after then fit whatever you want..

[minilee94]

Well that's why I wanted to know about 2 degree if it wears tyres out a lot and really un even as I know 1.5 wears tyres equal

13 x 7s already destroy the handling of a Mini, Icklemini really is one person that know what he's talking about.

I wouldn't run much negative camber at all on big rims like that. Looks are one thing, but they handle like a dog when they've got the big wheels with daft camber.

[minilee94]

The car isn't used for racing so I don't care about handling really as long as car goes and stops and go round a corner I don't care lol and they most known camber to runs is 1.5 so il jut run that

Yup, you're arguing with a guy who is pretty much regarded as an expert in this field. He genuinely knows what he's on about and I'd listen to him.
